No way I can post this in C&C

Hey girls..

Sorry this is the 2nd thread I've posted in your area in the past couple weeks, but you guys were such a big help before.

My girlfriend's birthday is Thursday. What are some of the most memorable b-day presents you all have received?

I'm off to the mall to shop.. but I never find anythign I like there.

I can't post this in C&C it will end up being a thread where the guys will post about how I should give her anal or something equally as stupid. I would've posted it in girl talk but it turns out I'm not allowed to

Thanks

I'm probably no help at all cuz I'm a practical gift person & lately I just don't want gifts -- I have everything I need & there isn't really anything I want.

That said, what about a trip somewhere for the weekend or something. I took my husband to Jamaica for his 40th bday for the weekend for example...

How long have you been together? How much money are you looking to spend?

Chocolate is always a good idea, especially if it's expensive chocolate like Godiva I've been hinting that I would love to get a Godiva gift basket for my bday next month, but so far it looks like noone is getting the hint lol


"A day at the spa" gift is also a good idea. Every woman loves to be pampered

Oh yes, those spa packages are a great idea....some even give you lunch or drinks while you're there....and you feel all smooshy afterwards...

Or make your own gift basket for her: buy a basket, leave natural or spray paint and fill with stuff you know she likes. Chocolates, home made treats, a pretty wine glass or 2 with a small bottle of wine or champagne, bath supplies, etc

If you've been together a long time, and want to spend a little more, what about something electronic...like a cell phone, sidekick, some computer software, or something like that that she could use a lot. I was just thinking of what I would really like. Not a real expensive phone, sidekick,etc, but justso u could maybe leave her a message throughout the day to tell her something sweet.

OH, Those spa things are a great idea too...it's something we all want, but rarely spend the money to treat ourselves...I think

Another vote for spa gift certificate. It really does say LOVE! All the while she's being pampered, she'll be thinking loving thoughts about you

I totally agree that the spa package would be a hit. I think every girl would love that!! And yes, it seems to be something we don't spend money on (or not as often as we'd like to). I wish my b-day was coming up...oh...wait...no boyfriend to buy me one anyways he he he...

We've together a year.. or a year and a half.. something like that. We sort of just slept together for a few months at the beginning of uhhhhhhh oh wait that's not what this is about.

It sounds like the spa idea is a big hit! What will $100 get you at the spa, anything good?

Aww pinkpanther, don't worry, I'll buy you a spa package. I'll buy all of you spa packages!

Soon as I make my first Million!

Thanks, I knew the girls would be more helpful than the crackhead boys.

Yep, at the risk of sounding redundant, the spa is always a hit.
